The Challenge

Bridging the gap between Instagram and Klaviyo

Legendary DTC brand Enso Rings designs stylish, comfortable silicone rings as a safe and versatile alternative to traditional metal rings. Created for active lifestyles, Enso Rings are ideal for people who work with their hands, love adventure, or simply want a flexible, everyday ring option. With a range of designs and colors, they offer a blend of style and function for any occasion.

Enso Rings uses Klaviyo to power their SMS marketing strategy - a key channel for reaching and converting customers. They were looking to tap into their vibrant Instagram community of over 247k followers, and convert as many as possible to Klaviyo SMS subscribers.

They tapped HiTide and their agency Lunar Solar Group to develop and execute on this vision.

The Solution

Driving powerful growth by implementing Klaviyo Opt-In directly into Instagram DMs

With HiTide (a Klaviyo Technology Partner) powering IG DM automation and Lunar Solar Group guiding their social and SMS strategy, Enso Rings launched a series of conversational opt-in flows that perfectly aligned with their brand voice.

This included multiple campaigns launching over the course of a few months:

  • A Call to Action in Bio and Story Highlight offering a secret discount

  • A Gift Card Giveaway themed around Enso Rings’ company birthday

  • An Early Access Sale tease post and stories hyping a “May the 4th” Star Wars collection sale.

Campaigns were primarily organic, with a small budget that Lunar Solar Group allocated to Paid Social for boosting content post-launch.

By sending Meta-approved instant Direct Messages to followers who engaged with their social content, Enso Rings delivered compelling offers to new potential customers through a familiar yet often underutilized and captivating channel.

They enabled followers to sign up to their SMS list - without needing to leave Instagram or navigate confusing link-in-bio solutions.

Thanks to HiTide’s seamless integration with Klaviyo, Enso Rings and the Lunar Solar Group team could effortlessly monitor real-time subscriber status, track list growth, and measure post-campaign opt-out rates—all while upholding strict TCPA compliance.

Even more impressively, 75% of SMS opt-ins from the campaign were brand-new subscribers!
